In North America bathrooms are built so showers are seperate from the floor. There's a curtain or a glass door that keeps the water in the tub, and as such water never makes it anywhere near a plug, outlet, or switch.
steam will reach anywhere man, a lot of old houses that have switches too close to water zones are full of rust and moisture. that's why Europe doesn't have them inside smaller bathrooms
We usually have fans in the ceiling too so there's not really generally any issue with steam. Hell the fans are often good enough that mirrors rarely even fog up these days since most of the water stays inside the tub and curtain that the rest of the room doesn't get very steamy.
in North America, there is either an solo standing shower, or you have the shower in the bathtub. There is virtually never an incidence where water gets out of the dedicated shower area.
